For years, the MEGA BeautyCon has brought together brands, creators, experts, and attendees in one space to experience, learn, and share in all things beauty. And in 2026, for its seventh edition, BeautyCon turned to the inherent fun and discovery found in beauty with the Beauty Carnival at the TriNoma Activity Center last September 5-6.
Here, everyone was encouraged to play and explore in the most beautiful carnival in town, with self-expression as the name of the game. As Day 1 opened the attraction for beauty-lovers across all walks of life, Day 2 continued the exciting adventure with even more talks, panels, live demonstrations, booth activities, and more. Below, see what went down at Day 2 of MEGA BeautyCon 2026 Beauty Carnival.

Inside Day 2’s Booths: Cream Silk, Dove, Anko and More
As early as the mall’s opening hour, attendees were already lined up at the TriNoma Activity Center for the second day of MEGA BeautyCon. With the theme of Fashion Funhouse, guests dressed to their imagination’s limit, where colorful, head-turning patterns, prints, and ensembles were the norm rather than the exception. It was a dazzling approach that made for the appropriate attire for the Beauty Carnival, which looked even better at the MEGA Vignette.
As with Day 1, attendees were given a Beauty Bingo Card at the registration area and were tasked with filling each box by completing specific activities at each booth. What awaited those who completed the card was a limited-edition MEGA BeautyCon 2026 Beauty Carnival gift tote filled with all kinds of goodies that were only given on a first-come, first-served basis and while supplies lasted. Speaking of booths, as attendees made their way through the carnival, they had an assortment of activities to do and check out, and prizes to earn courtesy of our generous brand partners.
At Cream Silk, hair has never looked better with their Cream Silk Pro Salon range of products. Dove Damage Expert Studio came to the rescue with their beauty hotline as guests answered a quiz for expert advice on hair-related needs. Lipstick was the main attraction at Anko thanks to their collection of lip products for the best pucker possible. Dear Face had carnival-coded activities and special treats ready with their beauty milk.
Flawless skin was made possible at Skintific. Guests had fun exploring the future of makeup at Timephoria. At Luxe Skin, wellness took center stage with their products and offerings. New Moon was all about letting attendees shine and glow from within. RPS Aesthetics celebrated enhancing carnivalgoers’ natural beauty. Organic Skin Japan, meanwhile, showcased their range of products that offer eye-catching results. And while all this was going down, guests stayed recharged and refreshed thanks to Dot Coffee and captured the moment to last at a photobooth courtesy of The Memory Machine Photobooth.
Day 2’s Talks and Panels, From Bea Millan-Windorski to Gian Bernardino
Soon, attendees settled into the comfortable lounge chairs provided by MOD Concepts & Rentals as the carnival’s festivities were about to start. Aiyana Perlas and Alison Black were once again the hosts, as they kicked off Day 2’s morning session by welcoming everyone to the second and final day of MEGA BeautyCon 2026 and teased what was in store for the audience, including special celebrity appearances.
MEGA’s Beauty Director, Agoo Azcuna-Bengzon, then shared a few words about MEGA BeautyCon 2026 and its mission to celebrate beauty as a transformative, experiential, and fun experience. “Inspired by the energy and excitement of a carnival, today is all about exploring beauty in new ways. From the rituals you create to the risks you take in your everyday beauty journey, we invite you to see beauty as an experience. One that you can engage with and make your own,” she shared.
The first talk of the day was courtesy of Anko, who, together with The Beauty Edit, showed the audience three different ways to up their lip game using their lip products. Content creator and entrepreneur Jana Berenguer then participated in a discussion on better skincare with Luxe Skin, which culminated in a live demonstration. Afterwards, Cream Silk and content creator Myrrh Picache engaged the crowd in an insightful game of whether something was a pro move or not when it comes to your hair.
By the afternoon, the Beauty Carnival was as lively as ever as the second part of the program started with a radiant glow thanks to an enlightening panel discussion between actress Jasmine Dudley-Scales, Miss Universe Philippines 2026 Bea Millan-Windorski, and New Moon on achieving that glow from within. Oral care tips and tricks were on the agenda for guest speaker Dra. Princess Rivera Dimayuga and Fresh Smilelab as she debunked myths from facts about oral health.
Celebrity hairstylist Mark Anthony Rosales was then up for a conversation on all things hair, specifically what it means to take care of your hair as a Filipina. Finally, the last segment of the day brought together RPS Aesthetics founder and CEO Dr. Ruthlyn Pecolera-Salvosa, Cup of Joe’s Gian Bernardino, and content creator Rosie Gaerlan for an entertaining discussion on embracing and enhancing your natural beauty. As a special surprise, one lucky winner was chosen to receive 100,000 pesos worth of glow-up services courtesy of RPS Aesthetics.
